I live in Florida on the gulf. I grew up around sailboats (my Father's passion) and when I was 8 became hooked on Jet Ski's (Kawi400 stand up). When I was 25 I traded an old 1984 audi 4000s quattro for my first ski, Kawi 440, midnight blue with yellow orange flames with proper mod for submerging. I've owned many skis (both sit down and stand up, always having at least one stand up with the family ski's) since.
I bought my first boat 1 week ago as a restoration project, clean canvas. This will allow me to get on the water again with some of that free feel of a ski. My Sea Doo is a 1996 Challenger with a single pump and 2 stroke, 800 Rotax.
